The Good
After having so much fun at Otakon, especially watching the new Tekken movie and the dub of Trigun: Badlands Rumble, Marvel and I have been in even more of an anime mood. Marvel had rented Summer Wars from Netflix right before we left, so we watched it on Monday. It. Was. AMAZING. Oh my God. It's impossible to truly describe the plot ( Read more... )

I don't know if I mentioned this in here, but relatively recently Marvel and I finished watching Haunted Junction (which was a cute, funny little series in its own right) and started watching Ouran High School Host Club, which we had bought in the dealer's room of last year's Otakon. To tell you the truth the purchase was Marvel's idea, which ( Read more... )

( The rest of our Valentine's Day weekend. )

That subject line is sadly all too true in my case. Sigh. I guess I should just count myself thankful that my parents weren't watching "Maude" that night.

With Otakon over, it's time for a State of the Crissy (SotC) update. Going by tags:

( Anime )

You know, it was bad enough that I was missing out on watching anime--when Marvel and I first started getting close, well before we started dating, we used to have an anime night, and that's how we got through all of, Christ, I barely even remember now--certainly all of Utena, and Trigun, and Excel Saga, and Cowboy Bebop. We tried watching Sailor ( Read more... )

Bit of background information, first: Yes, another poll, yes also inspired by a discussion Marvel and I were having. Dunno if I should tell you what it was about, or what our stances were, because I don't want to influence the data, so I guess you guys should vote first, and then ask or read the comments if you're interested in what prompted it ( Read more... )

Marvel and I are watching Love Hina on anime nights right now, and he's having a hell of a time finding the music that plays in the background whenever "wackiness ensues"--or a lot of the other upbeat music, for that matter. Did the American company (we're watching the licensed DVDs) that put out Love Hina not get the licensing for the original ( Read more... )

I had such an enjoyable psuedo-Japanese weekend that I felt the need to share it with you all ( Read more... )

I talk a lot about cosplay…because it’s the one hobby of mine that needs the most planning, and I like to think “out loud”--especially if it leaves a record I can refer back to later. Also, it’s the interest I have in common with most of you--I don’t talk about what I did with Marvel, for the most part, because I can’t imagine it’s of any interest ( Read more... )

I want to apologize to everyone who IMmed me last night just to get an away message...I was relaxing online when Marvel decided it was time to start dinner, and then Skye came over so it was time to eat dinner, and then it was time to digest dinner, and basically the computer got forgotten about ( Read more... )
